I would be very leery about purchasing them online this time of year for where you live. I'm in California and mine got held up in shipping, even with it not being that cold a lot of them died. The seller made it right by sending more, but it's always something to be concerned about. Also, if you don't have the money to spend on the larger quantity, do you have it to spend on the extra heat lamp, container, and food that they are going to require? Not trying to discourage you from getting them at all, in fact I am highly recommending it as they are easier, cleaner, quieter, and overall better for your frog than crickets, and once established, are an extremely cheap food source that will pay itself off rather quickly. It's just a matter of making the proper initial investment. If you can get the 100, and the setup going now, and save up for a batch of about 500 in a couple months, then by all means, go forward with it.
